Chloe

ThankFifi-Chloe-3

It’s my first Chloe.  I was going to ask you if I should keep it but I have made my mind up.

‘It’s not very practical is it though?  A coat with short sleeves?’ I can hear my mum’s voice on the other end of the phone (and she hasn’t even rung yet but I’m certain she will feel the need to impart motherly wisdom on this one…).  But I know the answer.  Its oversized wonderfulness can accommodate a leather jacket underneath for those truly cold days when bare arms cannot be endured, even in the name of fashion.

No excuses.  She’s a keeper.

coat – See by Chloe via TK Maxx (purchased in part w/ c/o voucher)

    amazing! Think about the endless layering possibilities it offers you and the wows you’re gonna get every time you wear it! Def a keeper!

      I love that it’s not just black (although in saying that I’ve never actually owned a black coat in my entire life!)

  10. Christy Posted 4 Oct at 11:07 pm

    Such a gorgeous coat, I love its color, and can’t wait to see you style it.

    Perfect! classic and can be worn seasons to come. good choice!
    I’m moving to Glasgow next week and i’m thinking a coat like this would definitely come in handy!.. where would you recommend to pick up a good winter coat in Glasgow? everyone has been telling me Zara is my best bet?

      I’d say they’re right – Zara or across the street to House of Fraser – although there are some really great finds in TK Maxx

  13. FASHION TALES Posted 5 Oct at 6:31 am

    It’s gorgeous! I have a coat with short sleeves, that’s totally something mine would say as well. It looks so nice. Happy weekend. /Madison

      I do feel so lucky I found it – saw it a couple weeks ago but not in my size and then… there it was in my size!

  15. Monica Beatrice Posted 6 Oct at 4:58 pm

    DEFINITELY a keeper! Gorgeous colour and a total find! TK Maxx can really rack out some amazing pieces!! Can’t wait to see a post with you wearing it : )!!

      Can’t wait to wear it either M! Can be a bit hit and miss in there but when you find a piece like this it’s well worth the rummage ;)

  16. Rachel Posted 7 Oct at 5:48 am

    Usually the word ‘Chloe’ convinces me a new item in by wardrobe is a keeper tbh.!

    • Thankfifi Posted 7 Oct at 12:49 pm

      ha ha! It’s my first but I love it already

  17. sara Posted 7 Oct at 2:31 pm
